“I have been following your blog, Machinery Safety 101, for some time. When I saw the announcement for the RA101 course I was very excited and enrolled straight away. Overall the course has exceeded my expectations. Thanks for your work in spreading the knowledge of machinery safety and helping reduce risks. The relatively long time period of the course and moderate pace allowed me to absorb the learning materials, unlike some other courses I took which tried to crunch a lot of information within a very short amount of time. I think you were great about explaining difficult concepts in a way most people could understand. The best thing I found about the course is the amount and depth of the reference materials. They helped me understand how some of the clauses in standards came about. Module 10, how to conduct a risk assessment, was the most interesting module to me. There were some very practical advice and unique materials. I am sure I will find them useful in my future career.”

“Doug Nix is a knowledgeable expert in and prolific promoter of machine safety, and also an excellent educator. The multiple-approach training method, with weekly live lectures, relevant online study material, live discussion sessions, one-on-one consultation, made for an easy-to-follow course on a sometimes difficult and tricky subject. I highly recommend this course to both equipment manufacturers and users to help you make your products and workplaces safer. ”

“RA101 was a great course, with a lot of resources that explained in detail the process of conducting a risk assessment in a clear manner. Doug also goes the extra mile by having office time every week to help answer any questions you may have. Strongly recommend this course to anyone looking into this subject. 5 out of 5 stars ”

“EVERPLAY International Inc. has been a member of the technical committee for CSA Z614 since 1991 and committees for playgrounds and sport-related surfacing at ASTM since the mid-1990s. We have always felt that participants in these activities will run a risk of injury from minor to life-threatening. Because of this, we have been advocates for the introduction of hazard identification and risk assessment to allow manufacturers, owners, and designers to develop new products and services. They could perform and document a risk assessment and take responsibility for their decisions. The RA101 from Compliance Insight gave us a clear understanding and perspective that we have been able to carry into CSA Z614-20, ASTM F1487-21 and currently, we are working as convenor of the WG6 of ISO TC83 developing a Benefit-Risk Assessment document. The RA101 presents the topic of hazard identification and risk assessment in a clear and concise manner that can be applied to the Occupational Health and Safety, which works for us in our construction work, but also provides us with the ability to think through the processes as they could apply in the sport and recreation sector. A clear element of Risk Assessment is the development of a thinking process and RA101 provides that. We would recommend the course to anyone wanting to take a single course to establish a solid footing in Risk Assessment. Additional courses and readings are always needed by practitioners. We look forward to future courses that might branch out into other applications of Risk Assessment.”

“The course was expertly delivered and laid out in a very intuitive manner that follows a logical progression which strengthens the learning experience. It’s clear to see Doug is an expert in the field of Risk Assessments and understands the importance of the fundamentals, and he is eager to share his depth of expertise and capable of explaining things in a way that is easy to digest. I thoroughly enjoyed the course material, which almost seemed tailor-made for me and my role at my company. The availability of office hours and 1-on-1 training further reinforced any questions related to specific applications, which was invaluable.”
